I've been told that there is a tradition in this world where people are supposed to give gifts to friends and family during the Yule Celebration. I'm not really familiar with it, there is nothing similar in my world. I don't exactly understand the point of it being a specific day, either. When people want to give gifts to friends and family in my world, they simply do so.
But I've arrived in a small town on the southern coast and it has a fine book shop with well made journals and when I was looking at them, I remembered our conversation at the Pool of Souls. You said to me something about how if I didn't move on from what I'd lost, I'd eventually get myself killed. Something like that. Mostly, I remember how resigned and sad you sounded. Like you'd lost something as important to you as what I have lost is to me. And I thought that maybe you could use something to help you find peace.
So I wrote down some things that help me find a center, a balance. Meditation techniques, breathing techniques - and I'm sorry if they aren't as helpful to you as they are to me. I don't know how breathing works for you. If the rhythm is the same as a human's - that sort of thing.
It only takes up the first twenty pages, so you can use the rest to write down your thoughts. Memories and feelings you want to save or are having trouble working through.
I hope your winter has been a good one so far and that the new year brings with it a measure of peace.
